I haven't tried this yet and I'm not even sure if you can cut it down enough for that to work but figured I would chime in just in case anyone was wondering.
Are you sure you are not just under filling it now, not accommodating for the extra capacity needing to now fill with more?
I see no reason a larger oil pan would change anything in relation to the dip stick.
